Record-breaking drug bust: Huge cocaine stash found in Dominican banana cargo

Dominican law enforcement hit the jackpot at Caucedo port in Santo Domingo: they discovered a mind-blowing 9‚5 tons of cocaine (worth about 250 million bucks) tucked away in banana boxes

The super-sized drug bust happened at the countryʼs main sea-port when officials checked a sus-looking shipment that came from Guatemala. Carlos Devers from the Anti-Drug Agency told reporters that these illegal goods were supposed to end up in Belgium but their quick-thinking team caught it first

The discovery marks a big win for Dominican crime-fighters — its their largest drug confiscation ever‚ showing how sneaky drug-runners are getting with their transport methods: using regular fruit shipments as cover-ups for their not-so-legal activities
